Chuck Liddell, also known as "The Iceman," is a Mixed Martial Artist with a background in Kickboxing, fighting in the UFC. Although he is primarily a striker, Liddell prides himself on his wrestling skills which he learned during his years at California Polytechnic in San Luis Obispo, where he also earned a degree in business and accounting. He is nonetheless a fearsome opponent both as a ground and fist fighter, and has endeared himself as one of the UFC's favorites to watch.

Liddell's mixed martial arts journey began in UFC 17, when he beat Noe Hernandez in 1998. From there, he went on to vanquish such greats as Guy Metzger, Kevin Randleman, and Murilo Bustamante. But it wasn't until he beat Vitor Belfort that he was considered a force to be reckoned with in the UFC.

Immediately following a loss to Randy Couture at UFC 43, Liddell readied himself for a match against his controversial rival, Tito Ortiz. Both men had trained at the Pit Fight Club and had experienced a falling out that culminated in Ortiz's lowbrow remarks and taunts against Liddell. However, Liddell vanquished his opponent at UFC 47. Since then, the tension between both fighters has been felt throughout the MMA world.

Recently, Liddell was seen on The Ultimate Fighter, Spike TV's breakthrough reality show that features 16 novice fighters in their quest to obtain a contract with the UFC. Liddell served as coach of Team Liddell, while fellow fighter and current UFC light heavyweight champ Randy Couture coached Team Couture. The series was a runaway success for both Spike TV and the UFC.

Liddell's highly anticipated rematch with Couture on April 16, 2005 at UFC 52 proved victorious for Liddell, who now possesses the light heavyweight title. The match ended during the first round due to a knock-out. The fight was almost stopped at one point after Liddell's hand made contact with Couture's eye, but the doctors allowed the fight to go on.
